Tinto de verano, which translates to “red wine of summer,” is a surprising combination of red wine and lemon-lime soda. This cooling spritzer is a perfect refreshment for hot summer days. If a lightly sweetened lemon-lime soda like lemon Fanta or Spain’s La Casera (known locally as “gaseosa” or soda) can’t be found, you can substitute Squirt or 7Up cut with a splash of plain seltzer.
Ingredients
- ¾ cup red wine, preferably Spanish, such as rioja
- ¾ cup lightly sweetened lemon-lime soda
- 1 lemon or orange wedge, for garnish
- Seltzer (optional)
Instructions
Step 1
To a glass filled halfway with ice, add the red wine and soda. Garnish with a lemon wedge. If the drink is too sweet, add a splash of seltzer.
